Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual
6.8.6. Range Units
The M360E can display concentrations in parts per billion (109 mols per mol, PPB), parts per million (106 mols
per mol, PPM), micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3, UG), milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3, MG) or percent
(volume CO2/volume sample gas, %). Changing units affects all of the display, analog outputs, COM port and
iDAS values for all reporting ranges regardless of the analyzer’s range mode.
NOTE
Concentrations displayed in mg/m3 and ug/m3 use 0C, 760 mmHg for Standard
Temperature and Pressure (STP). Consult your local regulations for the STP used by
your agency.
Conversion factors from volumetric to mass units are:
CO2: ppb x 1.96 = µg/m3; ppm x 1.96 = mg/m3

NOTE
Once the units of measurement have been changed the unit MUST be recalibrated, as
the “expected span values” previously in effect will no longer be valid. Simply entering
new expected span values without running the entire calibration routine is not
sufficient.
